' .DRAINING-PAN.-

,other articles are placed thereon the' water from the dishes will notcollect in the tray, but upon being received by the tray will be sink,or other The advantages of this invention then reside inv the fact thatthe surface which re'- ceives the dishes is kept yfree of water and thatit does not become necessary for the user to remove the water from thedraining pan even though the pan be used continuously and` for a greatlength of time.

Another advantage resides in. the fact that'means are provided forsupporting ir-v regularly shaped articles on the pan and for preventingaccidental even though the panbe,'as is desired, laced at anangle.

Details of construction and operation of my device will be fully setforth as the specication progresses.

' The following is what I ,consider the best means of carrying outy thisinvention and the accompanying drawings form apart of thisspecification, in which,

Figure 1 shows, in perspective, my device Fig. 2 is a plan view. Similarreference numerals indicate like parts in all of the gures where theyappear.

The tray or .pan which forms the body member of my device may be formedof sheet iron or any suitable material and I prefer, metallic parts beenameled or galvanized to protect against rust, not only because rustwould shorten the life of the device but because the presence of rustwould be objectionable in that it would mark or otherwise disfgurearticles placed upon or adjacent to the device.

The tray is formed of a bottom indicated' at 1 in which I produceaplurality of upwardly extending of which the fol` movement of any ifformed of iron, that all of theI Specification of Letters Patent. i

projections `as indicated Patented June 6, 1916.

Application led June 2,2, 1915. Serial No. 35,524.

at 2. T hese projections serve `to roughen the bottom of the tray and toprevent dishes or other articles placed thereon from sliding away fromthe position in which they are Y placed.

One end of the tray is squared and the other end tapered from each sideas indicatedI at 4 and 5 the tapers terminating in a delivery chute 3from which water, which would otherwise collect upon the tray, will bedelivered therefrom.

Formed integral with vthe bottom I arrange upwardly extending sides 16,.7, and 8, andI also upturn the edges of the angular portions 4 and 5 asindicated at 9 and 10;

ythe chute should also be provided with up- Vward extensions asindicated-.at 11 and 12. f

All of thesel upward extensions serve to conne the water within theoutline of the tray and cause it to be delivered only lthrough projectinchute 3.

To induce the ow ofwater toward the chute 3 I elevate the opposite endofy the tray byv arranging or securing7 adjacent thereto a plurality oflegs as indicated at 13 and `14. These legs may be of anyconvenientheight but it is really only necessary that they be of aheight suii'cient to cause a movement, of the water in the properdirection; in fact, I prefer that the legs be not extended to too greata height as to do `so would interfere with the properv ar-l rangementofthe material on the tray.

vIn the back member 7, I produce a plurality of slits or saw-kerfs 15andy 16 and I also produce a saw-kerf in each of the angled members 9and 10 as indicated at 17 an 18.

I provide a strip of metal as indicated at` 19 with hooked ends asindicated at' 20 and 21. This-strip of metal should be of sufIicientlength to extend between one of the saw-kerfs in the member 7 and adirectly opposite saw-kerf in one of the angled members 9 and 10, and itis between two of these saw-kerfs that the member 19 will vbe engaged.This member 19 will also be provided with right angled extensions 22 and23 which will rest upon the bottom 1 of the tray and assist in steadyingthe member 19. Supported by this member 19 are a plurality of upwardlyprojecting pins 24 which may be short lengths of dowel or metal rod, andin they preferred constructionthe pms 24: will be of'une'qual length;the

vof equal lengt one nearestv the chute 3 being the shorter and the oneadjacent to the' back edge of the tray' being the longer. I providethese purpose of supporting bottles, or other cylindrical` membersfirmly upon the ypassing the rod through the space between vthe body ofthe member 19 and the outwardly forced strips produced by the` slits, Imay secure it by closing the strips 25 closely around the pins. vanynumber of pins 24 all of which may be h. Having carefully and fullydescribed `my invention what I claim and desireto secure by LettersPatent-is:

1. A draining pan comprising a tray having an upwardly extending end andsides,

` an angularly arranged lchute formed integral with and projecting fromthe other end of said pan, said ends being provided 7with saw-kerfs,means for elevating the end l may utilize of said pan opposite saidchute and an adjustable member the ends of which are hooked, adapted toserve with said pan and. to engage in said saw-kerfs to supportcylindrical bodies thereon as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A draining pan comprising a tray having an upwardly extending end andsides, an angularly arranged chute formed integral with and projectingfrom the other endl of said pan, said elevated end and the sides of saidchute being provided with sawkerfs, means for elevating the end of saidpan opposite said chute, and an adjustable member having a plurality ofpins of different lengths and adapted to serve with said pan and toengage in said saw-kerfs to supportcylindrical bodies thereon as and forthe purpose set forth.
